New Medicaid Coverage Requirement Impacting Research Sites & Medicaid Beneficiaries
Show Notes

In this episode, we're discussing a new U.S. law condition that states Medicaid is to cover the trial-related routine care costs for Medicaid beneficiaries in clinical trials. Effective January 2022, there is a new form for principal investigators to use in these instances to secure Medicaid coverage, creating an additional and potentially burdensome step for research sites and patients with Medicaid coverage.

David Vulcano, SCRS Honorary President and Vice President of Research Compliance & Integrity at HCA Healthcare has been close to this subject and will share some insights on what types of sites this affects and advice to navigate this new challenge.
